Backpocket Wisdom


Since it is our 5th birthday this month (5/3), Backpocket Wisdom is here to give you five fun b-day facts to entertain your little ones!
1. "Happy Birthday To You" 's melody was written by American two sisters, Patty and Mildred J. Hill, in 1893 making it one of the longest running popular favorites. (Backpocket Bonus-- the song is copyrighted, too, which is why you usually don't hear the whole thing if someone is being sang to in the movies)
2. Your golden birthday is when the day of your birthday is the age you are turning, such as ours was our third birthday since the store opened on the third of May, 2003! Many birthday boys and girls get an extra present on this special day!
3. According to birthdaycelebrations.net, the largest birthday ever (attended by over 35,000 people!) was for Colonel Sanders in 1970.
4. According to theholidayspot.com, the largest birthday cake weighed in at "128, 238 lbs and 8 oz." and got iced with "16,209 lbs of frosting!"
5. According to yahoo answers, which we found through digg, October 5th is the most common b-day in the US--- and we say, Happy New Year, parents!!!

Psychobaby shares a birthday with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, who was born on 5/3/1933.
Tell us a story about who your kids share a birthday with, and whether it is eerie, inspirational, right on or baloney in your opinion!
